What is a Downpipe Clip used for?
A downpipe clip (also known as a downpipe bracket) is a critical fastener used to secure vertical rainwater pipes to the exterior walls of a building. By anchoring the pipe at regular intervals, these clips ensure that water is channeled efficiently from the roof gutters to the ground drainage without the risk of the pipe shifting, leaking at the joints, or vibrating against the brickwork.
Why Stability Matters in Rainwater Systems
Without a high-quality downpipe clip, wind pressure and the weight of high-volume water flow can cause drainage pipes to pull away from the fascia or wall. This often leads to “pipe rattle” and eventual joint failure. Our clips are engineered to provide a rigid hold while allowing for the natural thermal expansion and contraction that occurs with UK seasonal temperature changes.
Professional Installation & Spacing
For the best results and long-term durability, we recommend installing one downpipe clip every 1.8 to 2 metres along a vertical run. It is also vital to place a clip directly below any offset bends or branch junctions to provide extra support at high-pressure points. These clips feature pre-drilled fixing holes, making them easy to mount to masonry, timber, or cladding using standard stainless steel screws.
